GitLab Wins a 2026 Google Cloud Technology Partner of the Year Award for DevSecOps

GitLab recognized as Application Development - DevSecOps partner

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- All Remote - GitLab Inc., the intelligent orchestration platform for DevSecOps, today announced that it has received the 2026 Google Cloud Technology Partner of the Year Award in the Application Development - DevSecOps category. This is the sixth consecutive year GitLab has been recognized.

Development teams are adopting AI agents faster than they can govern them. GitLab and Google Cloud expanded their collaboration to help address that gap so teams get the speed of AI-assisted development and the controls their organizations require.

Building on a partnership that began in 2018, GitLab Duo Agent Platform uses Google Cloud models and infrastructure to help development teams orchestrate AI agents across the software lifecycle, from issue to merge request to production pipeline, within their organization's existing standards and governance policies, including which models agents can call and who can approve their actions. GitLab's Gemini CLI integration and native MCP server capabilities enable AI agents to interact directly with developer toolchains within those same environments. Through the Google Cloud Marketplace, joint customers have a straightforward path to adopting GitLab as the foundation for their AI-driven software delivery on Google Cloud.
